  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: On base four times in loss

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.

    The shortstop has had trouble making a consistent impact with his bat since the All-Star break, but Lindor is at least still getting on base. Through 11 games so far in August, he's compiled a .238/.373/.381 slash line with three doubles, one homer, one steal, five RBI and 10 runs.

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Enters starting nine

    Betts will start at shortstop and bat second Wednesday against the Angels.

    Betts was left off the initial lineup card the Dodgers handed in Wednesday, but he'll end up back in the starting nine and aim to extend his hitting streak to eight games. Max Muncy will step out of the lineup to make room for Betts, shifting Alex Freeland to third base and Miguel Rojas to second.

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Receiving break Wednesday

    Betts is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Betts has found his groove at the plate recently with a .400 average (12-for-30) over the past seven games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale in Anaheim. Miguel Rojas will receive a start at shortstop Wednesday for the Dodgers.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Struggles continue Tuesday

    Adames went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

    Adames went hitless for a fourth consecutive game, marking his longest streak without a hit since early June. The 29-year-old shortstop has struggled in August, slashing .111/.184/.244 with five runs scored, four RBI and two home runs across 49 plate appearances. Overall, he's now slashing .225/.311/.396 with 69 runs scored, 61 RBI, 18 home runs and four stolen bases over 508 plate appearances.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Scores, swipes base in loss

    Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    While Chicago struggled to get anything going with only four singles and the one run as a team, Swanson still managed to have a productive night from a fantasy perspective. The shortstop is batting .297 over his last 10 games with two home runs and two stolen bases. On the season, Swanson is slashing .253/.301/.415, and he's chipped in 18 long balls and 10 steals. It's the fifth time in his MLB career that he's reached double figures in both categories.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Plays first rehab game

    Ritter (finger) went 1-for-4 with two RBI in his first rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Ritter is finally ready to play in games again after going on the 10-day injured list nearly four weeks ago with a significant laceration on his right middle finger. He should not require too many rehab contests before rejoining the Rockies' active roster, and with Thairo Estrada (hamstring) done for the season, Ritter could take over as the Rockies' regular second baseman.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Batting leadoff Tuesday

    Perdomo is batting leadoff and starting at shortstop for Tuesday's game versus Texas.

    Manager Torey Lovullo has opted to flip-flop Perdomo and Corbin Carroll in the order, moving Perdomo up from third to leadoff. Both players have been on a tear of late, but Carroll has particularly shown more power, with four home runs over his last five games. Perdomo is slashing .435/.536/.652 with one home run, three RBI, eight runs scored and a 5:3 BB:K over the last seven days. Perdomo's strong on-base skills make him an ideal candidate for the leadoff spot.

  • Ethan Holliday SS | COL

    Rockies' Ethan Holliday: Making Single-A debut Tuesday

    Holliday will make his Rockies organizational debut with Single-A Fresno on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    The Rockies used the fourth overall pick on Holliday in last month's First-Year Player Draft, and he's set to make his organizational debut with the team Tuesday. The Grizzlies have 21 games left in their season, and the 18-year-old Holliday will get a taste of professional ball before the conclusion of the 2025 season.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Deposits two-run blast

    Perdomo went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss against the Rangers.

    Perdomo extended the Diamondbacks' lead to five with a two-run homer in the third inning, though the team ultimately gave up the lead and fell in extra innings. The switch-hitting shortstop has been locked in to start August, reaching base in all 10 games this month and riding an eight-game hitting streak.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Tallies two more hits Sunday

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

    Swanson extended his hitting streak to four games, and he has five hits across his last two contests. The Chicago shortstop is now slashing .252/.299/.416 with 18 home runs, 55 RBI and 66 runs scored across 115 games this season, which are in line with his stats from last year. Swanson has also swiped nine bases, though that's a step back at this point after he stole 19 bases in 2024.
